Ban Nan Toeng 'Elite' Selection #5 2024 is a short-day landrace cannabis accession originating from Ban Nan Toeng in the Phu Phan Mountains of Sakhon Nakhon Province, Isan, Thailand. This accession represents a domesticated, open-pollinated population of the Lao-Isan landrace, featuring narrow leaves, a Christmas tree growth pattern, and foxtailing flower structures. Plants reach 2–3 meters in height and exhibit a flowering period of 18–24 weeks, producing a terpene spectrum ranging from earthy spice to tropical fruit and herbal notes.
The accession was collected by Éloïse and Isabella as part of the Zomia Collective’s preservation program to document and conserve traditional landrace populations of Northeastern Thailand. Seeds were harvested from multiple plants within the general population to maintain genetic diversity, and are conserved in the Zomia Genetic Library.
Geography
This accession was collected from Ban Nan Toeng, located on the edge of the Kut Bak plateau within the Phu Phan Mountains of Isan, Thailand. The population grows at 200–400 meters above sea level in well-drained soils subject to the region’s warm, dry climate. The Phu Phan Mountains have historically been a center of traditional cannabis cultivation, shaping the landrace’s tall, sativa-like morphology and short-day flowering response.
Collection Details
Ban Nan Toeng 'Elite' Selection #5 was collected in 2024 from actively cultivated populations maintained by the Nan Toeng Village Community. Seeds were collected as part of a Point of Origin, open-pollinated general population effort, ensuring representation of the population’s genetic diversity. The collection was conducted by Éloïse and Isabella of the Zomia Collective . Minimal introgression is observed, and the landrace retains its distinctive Lao-Isan sativa traits.
Botanical Characteristics
This accession exhibits two primary phenotypic expressions:
Tiger Tail (Hang Suea): Robust, thick colas with dense trichome coverage. Terpene profile leans earthy, herbal, and woody. Effects are strong, clear-headed, and energizing, ideal for daytime use.
Squirrel Tail (Hang Krarok): Delicate, elongated, cascading foxtail-like colas with lighter flowers. Aroma is sweet and floral with tropical fruit notes. Effects are uplifting, euphoric, and long-lasting.
Overall, plants reach 2–3 meters, with long internodes, strong lateral branching, and high resin production. The population demonstrates classic Lao-Isan landrace morphology, adapted to the warm, dry climate of the Phu Phan Mountains.
Conservation Status
The population is classified as high conservation priority. Current challenges include genetic bottlenecks caused by selective male culling for seedless flower production. Conservation breeding efforts are underway to increase male plant populations, stabilize seed stock, and distribute genetically diverse seeds to local farmers, ensuring the long-term preservation of this historic landrace.
